My furry side kick...
I have two furry side kicks in the house, but in this post I am referring to the smallest one. She is my sweet adorable kitty who has taken a definite spot by my side during this pregnancy. In the last few months, she has become EXTRA snuggley and it is such a cute thing. There is no doubt that she is aware SOMETHING is going on in her "mama's" belly and wants to be protective and a part of it. She has become a permanent fixture curled up in my legs during my daily naps on the chaise after a long days work. She will even negotiate my mountain of a belly now to curl up on her old spot which has grown and she has become quite accustomed to the mini 'earthquakes'underneath her.And she is now sleeping at night with us, draped across my legs, tummy and the large body pillow at night. This is the first time she has ever done this since we got her. Her "old" spot was always curling up in the kitty bed on top of Hubby's dresser watching over us. And if she draped herself over us or crawled under the covers to warm up on the very rare occasion, one move of a leg and she was out of there. Now as I struggle to roll over and lift up the covers she is lying on and it is clear she isn't budging and staying right where she is. As much as I value my sleep at this point, I don't have the heart to kick her off of me and rather enjoy her presence.
The other week she lay on my belly and side and had her paws resting on my belly when baby boy began kicking directly under her paw several times. She was acutely aware something was going on but not at all disturbed by it. She seems aware that something different and special is going on but won't be giving up any belly or chest snuggling spots any time soon.
Hubby and I have discussed decorating the guest/kids bathroom with a cat theme. I found this adorable site of cat art parody which is hysterical and would be the perfect combination of adult humor and kid fun. I love the van Gogh impression (click here to see van Gogh's Naughty Cat).
It fits our cat completely and we'll be able to teach the kids to appreciate art and cats all in one.
